Tourists evacuated from Kenya after terror warning

A British travel agency is evacuating hundreds of tourists from Kenya after the Foreign Office warned against all but essential travel to parts of the country due to a "high threat" of terror and kidnapping.

Holiday operator Thomson is said to be flying all of its customers back to the UK following advice issued by the government yesterday.

The Foreign Office has warned against all non-essential travel to Mombasa Island, on which part of the city of Mombasa lies.
